Kate Garraway issues health update on husband Derek
Good Morning Britain star Kate appeared on Loose Women on Thursday. When asked by panellist Linda Robson if Derek can talk, she replied: “It’s very much a whisper.
Billy was in tears, they were hugging
“I don’t think we’re necessarily going to have a conversation, but you get fantastic moments. Billy had a new basketball and was bouncing it, and he [Derek] said ‘is that new ball?’ He said: ‘It’s nice’…”
Kate went on: “Seeing him able to do that was amazing. Billy was in tears, they were hugging. It’s things like that that really lift you up, and the next day he was really still.”
Kate Garraway makes exciting career news
Elsewhere on Loose Women, Kate also shared some rather exciting career news – revealing that she is making another documentary.
She said: “The last time I was on the show was the beginning of 2020. Derek and I were going to renew our vows. It was very happy. In a matter of weeks we were in this unfolding drama.”
“It feels like forever ago, and just yesterday. I’m still living the scenes you see in the documentary. I’ve decided to do another documentary,” she then revealed. However, she revealed that it doesn’t have a name yet.
Kate to release a book
Kate also revealed that she has written another book. This book will be called “The Strength of Love”.
“I’ve written a book, nearly finished, which is coming out in September,” she explained. “The publishers have been very good because it was supposed to be out last year and I just couldn’t complete it.”
She also said: “I didn’t want to write a book about the low times, I wanted to get to a place where it can be really positive and share some of the things I’ve learned to get through it.”
